Installing phpMyAdmin on Shared Hosting Packages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- Download the zip file of the latest version of phpMyAdmin at phpMyAdmin.net<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Once you download the zip file, you\u2019ll need to upload the file via an FTP<\/abbr> program or by using cPanel File Manager<\/a>. We recommend FileZilla<\/a> for FTP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Once in File Manager, upload the package you downloaded to the public_html<\/em> folder.
![\"zip](\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/phpMyAdmin_phpmyadmin-install.png\")
<\/a>
\u00a0<\/div><\/li>\n\n\n\n- After uploading the file, uncompress it<\/a>. To do so, right-click the highlighted file and select extract.
![\"Extracting](\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/phpMyAdmin_extract-menu.png\")
<\/a>
\u00a0<\/div><\/li>\n\n\n\n- Once the file is extracted, you will notice there is a file folder created. Rename the folder \u201cphpMyAdmin-5.2.1-all-languages.zip<\/em>\u201d to \u201cphpmyadmin<\/em>\u201d or similar for additional security.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Visit the folder in your web browser, e.g. https:\/\/example.com\/phpmyadmin\/setup<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You will need to create a config.inc.php<\/em> file. You can do this on the setup screen, download the file, and upload it into the \/phpmyadmin<\/em> directory<\/a> or by copying public_html\/phpmyadmin\/config.sample.inc.php<\/em> to config.inc.php<\/em>.
![\"phpMyAdmin](\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/phpmyadmin_phpmyadmin-4-8-3-setup.png\")

Then click \u201cSave\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You can now access phpMyAdmin without cPanel by visiting, e.g. https:\/\/example.com\/phpmyadmin\/index.php.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Note:<\/strong> If using SuPHP, make sure the .htaccess files do not have PHP settings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCongratulations! You have successfully installed phpMyAdmin externally and you can access your databases without cPanel!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
